One hot afternoon I became a thief of music.

For the first time, I created an original piano arrangement of my favorite song. Using only my ears and iPod, I created complex harmonies and voices into something I could perform with only two hands. No help, no guide: I did it on my own.

I’ve been a pianist since before my hands were big enough to reach an octave: with a musician as a father, I was all but born on the piano bench. For many years, my musical identity was defined by the notes others had written before.

This was why, when I added the finishing touches to my piano version of a modern rock song, I was proud of myself : this arrangement was mine. What I’d done seemed magical: an ability to take what had already existed—to “steal” a song from my favorite band—and to change it into something different and all my own. I was a thief, but I was also an artist.

In music, as in other aspects of life, I believe true originality rarely exists. Almost everything has, in one form or another, been done before. The most romantic novel may well be a slightly changed version of a play by Shakespeare, which is likely to be borrowed from the works of Ancient Greece: same themes, different characters. But, the novel is no less deserving of praise just because its uniqueness is compromised. Adaptation is not a symbol for failure.

The gift of creativity is the ability to do what I did on the piano: to find something beautiful, to analyze and twist it, and then to make it new. Such an act is not copying; it is finding inspiration and having the strength to use it as fuel for your own masterpiece. I believe it is my job, as an artist, to rearrange this world into what I imagine it to be.

I refuse to live as if I were trapped within the walls of a museum: looking but never touching, afraid to ruin the so-called perfection of the artifacts inside. Therefore, I will embrace my ability to be a thief, because if I don’t steal what the world has to offer, I’ll never have the tools to share with others a creation of my own.

My life is my own arrangement, and because of that, anything is possible.

【題目】閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

(ECNS) -- A woman in Changsha, Hunan province, has caught her fifth-grade son spending 500 yuan (about 80 US dollars) for an online service that will do his winter-holiday homework for him.

The mother said she was disappointed in her son, and shocked that the service was so successful. Numerous ads for businesses that do homework for students could be found online. One shop owner said they could also guarantee that the handwriting style would match each client.

Ghostwriting three exercise books for a fifth-grade student costs about 120 yuan, she added. "But the exact charge will depend on factors such as the complexity of the assignment."

The owner also reminded her customers to buy the service in advance, saying "the fees will increase if customers buy the service at the end of the holiday."

Winter holiday for students starts around the middle of January and lasts about a month.

"We parents definitely won't allow children to buy the service," said Kong.
